I have a couple of vegi friends that don't push their moral values in ones face but one of the noticeable things when out and about with them is how some meat eaters seem to almost take offense at them.
Why is it that some meat eaters like to tell a vegi that they are basically carnivorous and love nothing better than a blood dripping piece of steak?
It pisses me off when that happens, I used to be in the food/hotel trade and have seen this many times from a "fly on the wall" perspective. I think that the meat eaters who preach are in the majority numbers wise, that tends to mean that they assume a warped sense of having a right to victimise but the preaching does go on in both directions.
As you'd probably guess, it doesn't bother me if directed at me ... which tends to happen a LOT when you eat a steak the way I'll order it LOL, body temperature and cooked no more than to seal it (and less is the chef has the balls), which I would say is "instinctively" the way man is programmed to enjoy it ... just like it were fresh killed and still pulsing[;)].
However, I have worked with Veggie as well as Vegan, I have food the way I like it, they have it the way they do . I see that for some there is a dietary,an ethical, spiritual or religious reason for how they eat. I respect the individual in this.
I have my own spiritual reasons, if someone fucks with my peace I will generally tell them to go preach at someone else, if it happens over a meal, I consider it rude to the point of being offensive and this has happened, my reaction will be to tell the offender/s to fuck off and find a "strictly veggie" place and stop spoiling my meal.
It works BOTH ways if you ask me when one is in a dining environment, is equally offensive and ALL culprits should be executed by being fed as live bait to catch me a nice tasty shark to chomp on. [sm=evil.gif]
The dining table should be a social place of peace and contentment. (with lots of dripping steaks and freshly cooked offal available for me to enjoy)
